It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains (LP版) - Harry Chapin

Written by：Harry Chapin

Just after I screamed at you

What the hell is it all about

You spilled your coffee

Onto my sleeve

And you said

Don't expect the tears

To come from me babe

For I've already grieved

But that's when you let me

Back into your dream

And I know you're frightened

By my laughter

But you're not afraid

To hold my pain

You see I'm never sure

What you're after Babe

But it seems you only love me

When it rains

When it rains

You never treat me

Like you treat a gentle man

You only hit me

When you know it hurts

But then why bother reaching down

To where I'm battered

Try to raise me up

From the dirt

Stay hole

That's when you let me let me

Back into your dream

I know you're frightened

By my laughter

But you're not afraid

To hold my pain

You see I'm never sure

Oh what you're after babe

But it seems you only love me

When it rains rains

When it rains

I have sworn

To myself to stay protected

So I have strapped on

A sword and they shield

But my Armour

Yes it ends up meltin'

When you come along tumblin'

Across the field

Once again I yield I yield

Yes you get me crazy

'Cause you never even wear my presents babe

You wear flowers tucked into your hair

But when I'm cursin' in the night

In my frustration

That's when suddenly you are there

Once again that's when you let me let me

Back into your dream

And I know you're frightened

By my laughter

But you're not afraid

To hold my pain

You see I'm never sure

Just what you're after babe

But it seems you only love me

When it rains rains

When it rains

How come you only love me when it rains

How come you only love me when it rains

How come you only love me when it rains

How come you only love me when it rains

How come you only love me when it rains
